OPERATION DRAGON RISING
Operation Dragon Rising is a 90-day joint branch military exercise between the People's Liberation Army, Air Force, Navy, Marine Crops, and Strategic Rocket Force. The exercise takes place in and around a fictional country named the Democratic Republic of Evertide. The Democratic Republic of Evertide is a small, corrupt military junta that has been engaged in violating humanitarian rights, violently oppressing of political adversaries, and is suspected of engaging in ethnic cleansings. Professional role-players play key roles in this exercise, adding to its realism.
In the three weeks prior to Operation Dragon Rising, special forces trainees are inserted into the nation, and must use their foreign language skills to establish trust and rapport with the local populace, training guerilla fighters, and gathering vital intelligence. If the trainees are able to find concrete evidence about the ethnic cleansings, then they will have an easier time working with the populace and recruiting guerilla fighters, thereby weakening the power of the military dictatorship.
There are three distinct phases of Operation Dragon Rising:
There are three distinct phases of Operation Dragon Rising:
1. The battle against Evertide:
- The People's Liberation Navy and Air Force vie for naval and air supremacy against Evertide's forces. Drones play the aggressor roles of naval and air assets.
- Various special operations teams are inserted into the nation. Para-Commandos must secure a small airfield NE of Mayasura, Snow Leopard Commandos conduct unconventional warfare and commando operations, and Sea Dragon Commandos conduct hydrographic reconnaissance, naval demolitions and sabotage, and direct action strikes on naval defenses.
- The People's Liberation Strategic Rocket Force launches massive salvos of cruise missiles on enemy fortifications, bases, and other military assets
- The People's Liberation Marine Corps launches a full-scale amphibious assault to establish a beachhead and push inland.
- The People's Liberation Army deploys behind the Marines after the beachhead is secure, then take over the ground war while avoiding civilian casualties.
- With the assistance of conventional and special forces, Evertide's military is defeated and the dictator is captured.
- The reaction of the civilian populace (played by role-players) is determined by the military's performance.
2. Post-war Evertide:
- Without a functioning government, the civilian population now relies on the military to provide peacekeeping, medical care, humanitarian assistance, and re-establish necessities such as electricity, running water, etc.
- It is up to conventional and special forces to continue to gain the trust of the populace and work with village elders. Each village has conflicting goals and needs.
- The People's Liberation Forces help to oversee the establishment of a new government.
3. Counter-insurgency:
- After the establishment of a new government, insurgent forces begin attacking and attempting to undermine the government and People's Liberation Forces. This begins the notoriously difficult counter-insurgency phase.
- The size of the insurgent forces depends entirely on the military's relationship and trust with the civilian populace, ranging from small cells of disorganized rebels, to a large, well-coordinated force capable of threatening the entire stability of the nation.
- At the 90-day mark, the exercise ends, and the forces are debriefed in full regarding what went well, what went wrong, and what can be improved upon.
This operation is the final step before units are certified as mission capable and considered deployment ready.
